Essential Care Tips for Puppies
Understanding Puppy Health Needs
Sensitivity: Puppies require extra care due to their heightened sensitivity to illness, temperature extremes, and dehydration.
Respiratory Vulnerability: Their underdeveloped lungs make them more susceptible to respiratory issues compared to adult dogs.
Dietary Sensitivity: Puppies have sensitive stomachs, so be cautious when introducing new foods.
Regular Health Checks
Physical Examination: Regularly inspect your puppy's coat, eyes, paws, and pads to ensure overall health and familiarize them with handling.
Observational Learning: Spend time with your puppy to understand their habits, energy levels, and temperament, making it easier to spot abnormal behavior.
Preventive Measures
Environment Safety: Remove potential hazards from your puppy's reach to prevent accidents and injuries.
Chewing Hazards: Beware of electric cables and other chewable items that could pose a danger to your curious puppy.
Monitoring Health
Pulse Check: Measure your puppy's resting pulse to establish a baseline for comparison in case of injury or illness.
Visual Examination: Check for clear, bright eyes without any discharge, a cold and wet nose, and healthy gums and tongue.
Seeking Veterinary Care
If you notice any signs of illness or injury, consult a veterinarian immediately for proper diagnosis and treatment.
